No. The tooth fairy sells the teeth she collects. What do you think is rattling around in a can of spray paint?

Reply to comment by greenknight884 in Parents sometimes scoff when younger generations don't want to work as hard as they did or have kids, but part of why they don't want that is because they witnessed the misery of their parents. by smugglingkittens
Lets also not forget that they are doing all that to earn only half of what they need to support a family and so they require 2 incomes instead of just 1 like it used to be.

I consider myself rich when I have 4 figures on both my bank accounts at the end of the month. We have very different standards...

That day has come and gone.
To me, rich means never having to worry about money again. A million dollars isn't enough for that. You probably need at least ten million .

Surveys have shown that the average person considers someone “rich” only if they have a net worth over 2.2 million. So that day has unfortunately already passed.

To me "rich" means you can choose not to work for the rest of your life and still have enough money to be comfortable.
A million dollars already won't cut it by that standard.

Measure by displacement. When a mass enters a body of liquid, a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the mass entering the water is displaced. It’s called archemedies principle iirc, from there take the density of the mass to figure out the weight

It balances out because of what the added scarcity does to drive up demand in the used tooth market

Good one! Like, capitalist economies are the only ones who advance technology, clearly.

This raises questions about whether the tooth fairy has a direct connection to the central bank fiat currency creation system of every nation on the planet, or conjures the new currency out of thin air, or obtains the currency from the existing money supply and then redistributes it to dumbass kids. If the first, then the tooth fairy is basically an honorary central banker with powers on par with a mini-Fed Chair. If the second, and the tooth fairy can independently perform QE operations in every nation on earth with magic, then she is the most powerful financial force on the face of the planet. If the third, she’s basically Robert DeNiro in Casino.
